About

CL-STORE is a package written by Sean Ross for serializing and deserializing CL objects from streams

It has been tested and works on

• SBCL (0.8.10.12) on Linux x86
• CMUCL (CVS Head 2003-09-14) on Linux x86
• CLISP (2.33) on Linux x86 and Windows
• Lispworks Personal Edition 4.3 on Linux x86 and Windows
• Allegro CL Trial Edition 6.2 [Linux (x86)]
• OpenMCL is supported but is largely untested.
• ECL (Embeddable Common-Lisp) 0.9d

CL-STORE is licensed under the MIT Licence.

Notes

• Clisp, OpenMCL and Allegro CL do not support serializing structure instances.

CL-STORE currently supports serialization of

• All numbers (float, ratios, integers, complexes)
• Character, and Strings
• Vectors and Arrays
• Hash Tables
• Lists
• Instances of Structures
• Instances of CLOS Classes
• Conditions
• CLOS Classes
• Structure definitions (SBCL and CMUCL only)
• Functions (Serializes the function name)
• Generic Functions (Serializes the GF Name)
• And Combinations of the above

Hopefully one day proper functions and closures will be added.

    Example:

    ;; Store a class and instance
    cl-user(1): (defclass foo ()
                  ((bar :accessor bar :initarg :bar)))
 
    cl-user(2): (cl-store:store (list (find-class 'foo)
                                      #'bar
                                      (make-instance 'foo :bar "bar"))
                                "test.out")

 
    ;; Then restore them in a fresh lisp session
    cl-user(1): (let ((vals (cl-store:restore "test.out"))) 
                  (funcall (second vals) (third vals)))
                 => "bar"
